PCPER.com: 5 GHZ+ Phenom II Overclock on Dry Ice, 6Ghz on LN2

[dinos22]

He was the first person to ever get one I think.
If Macci is hitting those kinds of clocks on LN2 with Dragon Evo...wonder what he would do with a F1 extreme...Sami PM me your info again, time for an upgrade
Looks like AMD is back in the LN2 game after all this time. Pretty cool
Nehalem kind of sucks for extreme overclocking on LN2 to be honest. The LN2 party since dothan had to end some time I guess lol.

ho ho ho.....what are you trying to do....allow AMD to hit 7 GHz mate

The only downside I see here, is the amount of LN2 we will have to spend running the CPU at -190C all day long

Nice to see that AMD is back in business. Now where is my AM2 board again? After CES things should get interesting again =) Finally a change in the benching scene. Benching C2Ds all the time is a little boring and Nehalem is not exactly much fun under LN2 as of right now =/

Fingers crossed, AMD is right and that CPU is not cherry picked or special in any form.

the beauty of using F1EE is that it is use FAR less LN2 than any other pot out there so to maintain and be at those temps this is THE pot to use...............really glad KP will hook up macci

I ll try with and without couple of diodes too ;-)
Get ready for a trauma ...

why not just rip them off for good.....if a couple of diodes are making Nehalem run like a dog on LN2 get rid of them i say

I usually do not organize what I call "freak of nature" demo, what I mean by this is that I am always very careful to use statistically representative parts to avoid misleading anybody.

This time, I got a Saturday FedEx delivery ...

This is from my Buddies Milke M and Mike H (thanks for going the extra miles), this is a freak of statistic, this part is not in the middle distribution of the curve, it actually leak some serious current ... but it does OC, really, like hell.
6Ghz, i know i can do it already, let s see what is the next Digit , and to make sure everything is fair, I ll be joining a master of OC, he knows better than I do about LN2

I am just going to be doing the same as our green buddies, dissable the thermal control, and let s see

I ll drop the result here before thanks giving week end!

so this CPU will never actually be a retail product you would sell publically???

Make sure the oc master is a member of this community or it won't do you much good

Why don't you fly to vegas and ask FUGGER himself to bench it with you on ln2. And make sure to videotape it

I want vid's or it didn't happen

it's going to be Charles dude lol

Every body take it easy ... The Demo is coming, and the Phenoms II will be in store soon ...
And for the demo, we will do on CAM, with and without tricks, I need the community to understand that Manufacturer demo is kind of not appropriate for OC, it is why i always let Charles and Co to do it.
So, we will know soon.

you are operating on assumption that AMD cheated by turning off a few parts of the chip and running those demos and telling ppl they are normal run of the mill CPUs. what if you are wrong? Will Intel look like an arse trying to do something AMD didnt do....maybe it's a bad idea to do this sort of demo i donno Francois.

if you say that Intel has always tried to have a representative CPU you should stick to that. Long term it's a smarter attitude to have. You should let XS users smell a rat rather than you try to show us imo. We're are pretty good at it too you know and consequences will be bad for AMD as they will be if Intel starts playing trickery with people.........

what is the point of showing us a 6GHz or even 7GHz nehalem when average benching stable clocks on nehalem subzero are below 5GHz atm, even below 4.8GHz most likely. You are only going to exacerbate people's dissatisfaction with spending crazy amounts of money only to get CPUs that run like dogs on LN2 ..........

what we really need now is for you guys to sit down and fix cold bug problems and release retail chips........so that we can all reach monster clocks without temps affecting the OCs. Shamino thinks that there is a high vcore cold bug on these CPUs...He's very experienced and would have tested a fair few CPUs to form an opinion like that. Time to get ot work and make us ALL happy heheheh

Don't worry, F1 EE will be used very soon, date is already set
